The project totes sound awesome….who couldn’t use a few of those…we all know we have lots of projects going on!!! Good luck with those appetizers…….the party sounds like great fun. Enjoy and eat up!!! Merry Christmas, Kristy PS. I too have a busy day so had to get on early and check out your needful things….seriously I can’t miss a thing.
That sounds like a fun party and great theme. I have enjoyed seeing your favorite things, nice to see products that other’s like and things that can make our quilting easier.
I love the picture of Santa and Elf, I’ll bet you throw a great party! I love this type of project bag – they work for so many different things (I use them for knitting too!) Nice and heavy, so much more durable than my many ziploc bags – thanks for the sale. Merry Christmas and have a wonderful time de-stressing!
Love the picture it’s priceless. ๐ Have a great party. The totes are great for putting kits together in. I have all my block of the weeks in one (bought them but haven’t started sorry to say).
Love these project bags in all sizes. Best part is that you can see your project when you look at the bag. Really important for those of us with MANY unfinished projects!!!
Well, what the heck! Why haven’t I purchased some of these yet?? I am the QUEEN of organizing my stuff and I have failed to pick some of these up:( I know I can’t win them, but I just may have to make a Monday run to the shop to pick some up!!
Have a fabulous time tonight and I look forward to the pictures. Your list of items is wonderful, many I’ve never even entertained (but might have to on the light!). As for these zippered bags, I have to laugh. Most of my ‘bags’ or the plastic ones that still have lots of fabric in them because there is NEVER enough or the right fabric when you need it.
I love using the totes to keep my projects together. I also like it when my favorite quilt shop (Primitive Gatherings) kits up a quilt in one of their totes so the kit stays altogether until I have time to work on it.
I keep trying different things but have yet to find something to keep my blocks from getting beat up and folded. These just might be the answer to my problem. Thanks for sharing your 12 favorite quilting tools!
Love those vinyl project bags. They are great because you can see at a glance what project is in them. They also pack better than the plastic containers which can crack. Best was to store your BOM in progress.
I love those project totes! I always have hand work to take along on rides in the car and just use ziplock bags. But those would be so much sturdier! Can’t wait to see pictures from your party!
Your party is definitely THE place to be today. Looks like way fun. I love these totes because you can see what the heck you put in it. You know, those mysteries of where is it that seem to be happening to me more frequently these days. Hope you have a great time today and a wonderful weekend as well.
I love the tote idea, especially for appliquรฉ projects on the go. What makes them even better is that they are see thru so things can’t get lost! Thanks Lisa! Wish I could be at the party! Sounds fun! Enjoy…..you deserve it!
I do not have a single one of these but have heard from more people than you that they are great. i currently use plastic containers but these bags would definitely be more portable. Hopefully they do not mean more UFOs. Ha-ha! Happy Holidays!
I like that you can easily see what’s inside. And I agree with a previous posting that it would be great to bag those UFOs so you can see them, let some guilt build up and finally attack them! Happy Holly Ball!
What a great party tote, I mean project tote! Clear, portable. Great for travel and clearing security or stuffing into a seat-back pocket for take off or landing. Also great for projects carted to sport practices, lunch rooms or waiting rooms. Plus the see thru always sparks a conversation about your project. What better way to share your passion and perhaps light a new flame!
Enjoy your Holly Ball. Cheers in the Red Solo Cup!
Love, love, love totes for more than organizing! They actually help keep small pieces from fraying. Also, a shop name on the tote reminds me of the fun visit I had to the shop and/or the kit that came in it. Happy Holidays to all.
Have a wonderful time at the party. Sounds like so much fun. Can’t wait to see pics. Love totes, great idea to collect them from different quilt shops.
I absolutely love these, and I’ll agree with a previous post…a lot classier than a ziploc bag!! It’s impossible to have too many! Have fun at your Holiday party, it sounds like a blast. Merry Christmas Lisa!
Project bags, YEAH! Great for punchneedle-English paper piecing, everything, keep it all together, when you have a few minutes, everything’s there for you to work on, love them.
I so need some more of these! I have a couple and put them to good use all the time. Have some kits that I’ve made up for some future projects and these are just in a tied bag right now in my kit bin. Merry Christmas and have a Merry party.
Love, love, love your project totes! They are great for blocks & other works in progress PLUS I can easily see what’s in them. That way when I need a quick project on the go, I just grab something fun and head out to quilty bee time with the ladies!
We had a party at our house two weeks ago…and it was so much fun, once everything was done and I was ready for the doorbell to ring! Have a great party and with all of the fresh snow falling, how can you help but be in the spirit??? (Ps…love your totes…organization is my middle name)
Those project totes look great and I like that they are see-through also. So handy to have projects for on the go!
Enjoying reading your 12 Days of Needful Things.
lol! Those elves look like there up to no good! ๐ Sounds like a fun theme for a party! Looking forward to seeing some pics!
Project totes are a great idea too! Keeps everything together… so it will be easier to work on more than one project at a time!
Looks like Santa and his elf have already been in the eggnog! Too funny. Love the clear organization totes.
Nothing worse than wondering what is in all the odd plastic bags I usually use. Merry Christmas!
Love the project tote bags…..and you can see the contents…..and the contents don’t get wet when I am in a coffee frenzy…..and they don’t collect cat hair!!!
I can see how these project totes can be handy for many different projects like EPP hexagons, cross stitch, embroidery, punch needle, or beading. Have a great party!
Love those totes!!!!! I have a few and they are all used> I like that you can see through them and don’t have to open them to know which one you want. Can always use more totes!!! Have a fun party!
Your party sounds like a great time. Be sure to send photos so we can all see. You can never have enough totes. I seem to have a lot of just started projects that need a home.
Lisa, Happy Party Day and Fun Day for you! Great idea on the totes. I’ve been using plastic bags but these are way better. My type A personality requires super organization (especially since I keep several projects going at once),
So I’ll definitely look into getting some of these.
Oh I love those totes! I am familiar with them and only have two but I need several more. They are nice to store whatever project that you are working on in so everything doesn’t get scattered all over! Your party sounds fun!
I like the idea of using the totes rather using the plastic freezer and sandwich bags. Have a great time at your party, I’m sure everything will work out.
Love project bags. Can’t get enough. I even use them for future projects so I don’t end up stealing fabric that is for a future project just because it is in my stash and can’t remember that it is for something elese!
You can never have too many project bags. I received one with a kit I purchased recently and ordered a few more in different sizes. They are great for travel and keeping UFO’s together. I too love collecting bags from different quilt shops. Have a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!
I love project totes too Lisa! Wonderful organizers. I have to say, your husband is a good sport to dress up like Santa! I know mine wouldn’t, lol. Good luck with ypur appetizers, I’m sure they’ll be delicious!
These project bags look fantastic! I have been searching for something to transport my quilting, cross-stitch, punch-needle projects in while in progress. I am needing a few of these project bags! Thanks, Lisa!
Party Hardy, Lisa! This is a special time of year for that and hope you enjoy your party after the work to get ready is done. Great bags for projects!

I love these totes. It is so nice to be able to see the project and not have to look thru everything until you find what you want. Love them! Have a great time at your party.
This is what I need to help me got organized for 2014… I love cutting projects our right away and then I have to get a new box. This will be a much better choice!
Nice thing about the plastic totes is that they don’t slide around when you stack multiple projects up on top of each other . . . yes . . . I am very guilty of that one!!! Plus, the see-thru is helpful in figuring out which UFO is going to be next. I hate starting a project, putting it down for a while, than not being able to find the instructions, templates & fabric! These totes really save the day . . . and the half-finished project :o) I love that you carry the larger sizes!
I think those totes are a great idea especially for all my unfinished blocks of the month ( shish) don’t tell anyone because I have your new ones in my Christmas list.
I have been using these wonderful “see through” totes for my quilt blocks and smaller kits and now I can’t be without them. You can’t have too many if you’re like me and have several project in process all the time. One glance and you can grab and go…does it get any better then that? Thanks for sharing your Christmas Ball theme. Sounds fun – please take pic’s to share with us faithful readers!
I don’t think you can ever have too many project bags. They help keep projects tidy. I especially like the clear ones because they make it so much easier to find the project I am looking for. Uh, yeah, I have a few projects…
Love the project totes, and for me I sure could use a lot of them, as I always have more than one project going. Enjoy your Christmas Ball tonight, sounds like a great time!!! Merry Christmas
Looks like Santa and his Elf are taking this very serious. Hope you post some pictures of the Holly Ball. The project totes look like a great organization tool.
Looks like something I need! I have been thinking of getting these in the past! Now is my chance . Thank you these will come in handy for my projects I am working on!
I can never have enough of these project bags, they are so handy. Although at the moment I dong have one from Primitive Gatherings; I do plan on order one of each size to start with.
Your party sounds like fun and can’t wait to see photos. Have fun! I love these project bags as well and have several of them. The smaller sizes are great for tools as well as small projects. I do the same thing and collect them from stores I’m visiting.
Thank you for a super giveaway and a chance to win.
Those bags are a definite useful item for projects. Every time you write about them, I always think I ned that. I think this next year is when I get these. ๐
OOOOHHHH! Love this bag. I can see what project is in it without taking each one out of the bag. I need to get rid of those PIGS.. (Projects In Grocery Sacks)
Great bags! Love you can see what you have without opening and they are secure with the zipper, certainly would help me get my projects I am working on organized.
